I have 9iAS, the database, and iFS running on the same machine.

9iAS comes in (usually) two parts: 1) the mid-tier or infrastructure database used for (Portal) metadata and LDAP (used for SSO). 2) iAS it self with all the Java processes.

Each of those is an 'instance' and each comes with its own OHS (Apache server) because they use http(s) internally for coordination.

iFS needs to be installed in the iAS ORACLE_HOME, not the infrastructure home.

When you start the whole thing you can conserve resources by not starting the things you don't need (Forms, reports, Clickstream, Business Intelligence, etc.) Note that the portal software and possibly other components won't work if you do not also start webcache. You cand find a configuration xml file in webcache's directory. The initial size will probably be 512 MB set aside. For a small machine, set it to 128 MB and do a webcachectl stop, then start.

Don't even attemt to do any of this if you have less than 1GB RAM in your machine.
